Answer:
Before accepting Rickey’s offer, Robinson confirms that Rickey respects him as a strong black man.
Explanation:
"I Never Had It Made" is an autobiographical account of Jackie Robinson about the struggles that he faced as a black man among white players especially in the sporting world of baseball. This autobiography presents an inspiring story of how he endured racism and became one of the most celebrated and greatest sportsmen, not only as a black man but also as a sportsman.
In the given excerpt, Robinson recalls how he had approached Rickey about his offer of playing in his Dodgers team. For Robinson, it seemed like the typical way whites deal with blacks and he was determined not to be a victim. But when Rickey assured him that he wanted him with <em>"guts enough not to fight back"</em>, he knew this white man was not like the others. <u>This response confirms that he (Rickey) respects him as a strong black man and is unlike the other white people.

Explanation:
I believe the correct answer is: approaching.
In this excerpt from the poem "Learning to Read" written
by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, the meaning of the word rising is approaching.
The subject of this poem is Aunt Chloe, representing all elderly former slaves
in order to convey the value of literacy to blacks during and after slavery as
a key to freedom. Aunt Chloe wants to learn to read in order to read the Bible,
and as she was approaching sixty years, she had to “hurry”. To achieve that:
"So I got a pair of glasses,
And straight to
work I went,
And never stopped till I could read
The hymns and
Testament.
Then I got a little cabin
A place to call my
own—
And I felt independent
As the queen upon
her throne."
